I have seen some of the members here adding ways to drain the oil tank. 911s have a tank drain, but their tanks are mounted fairly low in relation to the engine. The bottom of the 6 tank is close to being near the same height as the top of the engine caes. Won't the oil just run into the engine case?

Curious:
just how much oil is left in the system if only the sump is drained? Cannot be much as it appears to be the low point in the system TIA |
